Weekend Box Office (Oct 23rd-25th)

It's a complete "OMG" type weekend, with Paranormal Activity destroying Saw XIXIXIXIX, err.., I mean Saw VI. In other (non) news, Vampires Assistant, and Amelia are dead on arrival, with Astro Boy flopping probably only surprising me. Summit is a one franchise distributor (I thought they could pull off more with Knowing doing well earlier this year, but...).
